The Step-by-Step Annual Planning Guide for Overachievers
I use to be a horrible annual planner. Then I read everything I could find on planning, spent thousands on workshops, and iterated my process over ten years. Now, I’m badass at this.
I’m going to teach you everything I know about annual planning. This won’t be easy. This is designed for overachievers. I’ve held nothing back.

How to Prevent Burnout: Real Examples and Best Practices
I hate the “hustle” culture that’s embedded in modern entrepreneurship.
What is it? It’s the feeling that we should constantly be working. There’s pressure to work while you’re on vacation.

Can you relate to this feeling?
Workflows 101: The Hidden Concept to Get More Work Done
Everyone is approaching productivity wrong. Tactics such as Pomodoros and blocking distractions only scratch the surface. A more effective approach is to improve your workflows.
My career exploded starting in 2009.
The money was great, but my soul was taking a beating. I couldn’t keep up with the countless emails. I thought employees were the answer, but managing them took time away from me actually making money.
Here’s Why Some People are ALWAYS Late
There was one thing that I couldn’t quite understand when I started “adulting”: why some people were always late to events.
You know what I’m talking about…
If the event starts at 8 pm, you need to tell them to show up at 7 pm in order for them to arrive on time.

Or they even get fired.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’m OBSESSED with productivity.
Friends have made fun of me by saying I systemize my bathroom breaks and send my mom Google calendar invitations when I want to talk to her.

I realized a long time ago that there are only 24 hours in a day. I don’t want to wait until I’m old to enjoy life.
How to Manage Your Calendar Like A CEO: The Ultimate Productivity Hack
Do you know what I check more than my social media, stats, and emails combined?
My calendar- it’s that important to me.
I remember hearing on a podcast from Ramit Sethi a few years ago. He said, “I can tell your priorities by looking at your calendar and your bank account.”
For many years I didn’t use a calendar. I felt a calendar kind of “trapped” me and I didn’t like having my day planned out that granular.
How to Save Time Through Systems Thinking

3 Simple Steps to Conducting an Annual Review
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.

– Steve Jobs
A new year is coming, and I’m not thinking about partying or drinking.
